[QUOTE="GTNavyNuke, post: 238057, member: 322"] +1. If we got a touchback every time, we'd have the best average number of yards per kickoff of all teams. And Butker is getting better ...... plus he had no out of bounds last year. Some of the kickers with big legs have OOB kicks which really hurts the average yards per kick. Probably from trying to directionally kick to a corner. Just kick the snot out of the ball out of the back of the end zone. In the band is best ..... Butker did that maybe 6 times last year. +1 on the difference in 2 yards on a kickoff returned to the 23 or 25 or 27. That's why the FEI ratings give a value to every play not only on how many yards but where the yards are gained. It's based on the scoring potential from each yard marker. Also, most FEI ratings are based on points scored per play. ST aren't ranked that way I don't think and aren't that heavily weighted except for FGs. Again, as I said in the first posts, I don't understand how Butker can be ranked so high given his low completion percentage. He missed some short kicks which lost a lot of points per attempt, and not in trash time. But I'd rather have Butker than 90% of the other kickers. To get drafted in the NFL (not a walk on), I think he will need to get his completion % up this final year. [/QUOTE]
